... to build a slip turnout, but the whole thing has to fit in a quarter circle, approximately, so if 3 curved turnouts are too long I'll have to build a single or double slip turnout for the outside track instead. A slip turnout might end up giving smoother running, so I may ultimately end up there for that reason, too. But I've never built a double slip before, and I was hoping to get a bit more practice building simpler trackwork before I dove into that. posted: 22 Sep 2020 05:00 from: Jerry Goodwin PS.

... . There is another reverse curve at the start of the bottom left turnout on the scissors crossover as well. Neither is ideal especially when pushing bogie coaches into the platform. Actually a curved double slip is bound to have a reverse curve on the outside slip, maybe that is a good reason to keep the formation straight. I do have a hankering to go for a flowing curve though so maybe I'll have another go. I wonder how the real thing would lay it out? Julian posted: 24 Oct 2014 23:05 from: Tony W Hi Julian. I have now had a better look at your track plan and I am afraid there are several issues that need looking at. Although your design of curved scissors and double slip will work and you have correctly used straight cut switches for your turnouts. You have used the standard track centres of 44.67mm to generate all your parallel tracks. This is alright for straight track and curves down to about 8800mm radius, but for sharper curves increased track centres are required. This is a common error ...
... my time already.) Also I don't want to "learn" how to do something complex, I just want a recipe to follow. One problem is that Templot usually occupies the whole screen, so there is no space for a video or slideshow. So what I need is the words and pictures in a form that I can print, and then follow by doing it on my track plan. So the text and pictures in a printable form would be great.

... 3 months now and it was a case of forgetting what Windows commands are and just trying out what each action does to a template. Also it's important to run through the tutorials and ask questions on here. What's the worst that can happen? You don't save what you've just done. It's easy to start again having learnt from your last mistake. Martin has produced a fantastic aid to producing accurate templates for building the layout that you want and that will look right. Stick with it. Mike posted: 20 Jan 2011 05:07 from: Nicholas Geti Every Windows program that I use has some kind of Preference file. Usually in an Edit tab on a toolbar. It includes every item in current use and is updated either automatically whenever there is a change or on demand by the user. Microsoft Word saves the current file in Normal.dot and also a backup file every xx number of minutes as defined by the user.

... W x 1008H with a Bit Depth of 24. When importing to Templot I believe I need to know the DPI, how do I find this information or have I got it completely wrong Hi David, In the current versions of Templot you can't use GIF files, you need to save it again in BMP format. Save it in the C:\TEMPLOT\SHAPE-FILES\ folder so that Templot can find it every time you reload the BGS file from there. Edits: Templot2 now supports GIF, PNG, JPG, in addition to BMP. For scanned items -- use JPG. For computer graphics and CAD drawings -- use PNG. Do not use JPG for these. It is no longer necessary to save the image file in the shapes folder. The video needs updating to reflect these changes. If it is a "25-inch" OS map the scale is actually 1:2500, not 1:25000. That is the scale of the "Explorer" OS maps and too small to be much use in ...

I saw your last message just before I was going to start to modify each of the background templates, so I will wait for 214b and give it a burl. Thanks again, Rick posted: 24 Feb 2017 05:14 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rick, Program update 214b now available. Templot will download and install it when you start Templot. Let me know if you have any problems with modify group to match on the V-crossing customizing. I have tested it briefly, but a complete test of every setting would be too time-consuming for me at present. So make sure you have a backup copy of your .box file. regards, Martin. posted: 24 Feb 2017 15:15 from: Martin Wynne ...

... , i'd not seen that one. Are the tutorial videos for the tandem and slip turnouts still relevent to TDV? These look quite advanced. If i just use simple turnouts and diamond crossing for now can these be converted at a later stage? Will keep plugging away and hope to make futher progress over the weekend.

... foot width offset from those edge lines. 2. Alternatively, try generator> generator settings> rails> rail centre-lines only menu item, and rebuild as necessary. Now you will have rail lines corresponding to the centre-line of the rail, and you can set your machine to cut a slot of the appropriate rail foot width centred along those lines. n.b. don't try both methods at once, changing the rail width will change the rail centre-line. regards, Martin. posted: 22 May 2008 05:44 from: dwhellum Martin Wynne wrote: Are you sure you want assembly jigs? It means that you will have lots of identical turnouts, whereas the great advantage of Templot is that you can have the full variety of prototype designs in your track plan. Quite often a Templot track plan will contain no two templates exactly the same. Also, please bear in mind the licence terms for Templot.

... ). Go to the Save as type: box (2) and click the drop-down arrow (3). Select Windows Bitmap or BMP on the list of file formats (4). (If there is a choice of BMP formats, choose "24-bit" or "32-bit" or "Full Colour" or "True Colour" .) Then you can enter a suitable name in the File name: box and click the Save button. If you have already saved the scan in JPG format I recommend scanning it again as above. The JPG format may have lost some of the precision detail in the image. Saving it instead in a loss-less format such as BMP preserves all the available detail, which is why Templot uses the BMP format for background images. If you are unable to scan it again, you should be able to open the JPG file in whichever program you normally use to edit photographs, or in the Paint program which comes with Windows, and then Save As... ...

... repeat the process- thus at any stage you have something which is complete. BUT please take a happy pill this morning! There is no doom and gloom- you have far more contented users compared with the moaners. Any software which can generate a complete Template of the L&Y's Bolton West in about 15 minutes flat in any scale or gauge can only be described as brilliant- and Templot is just that- Sketchboard or not!
